I have been given the responsibility of preaching on the distinction between "meaning" and "significance" in relation to biblical interpretation.  Meaning of course refers to what the text meant.  Significance refers to how the text is applied.  I have taught this distinction a great deal, but preaching it is a different matter.  I am doing some new reading on the issue.  I am reading Vanhoozer, Is There a Meaning in This Text and I just finished Beale's article where he responds to Steve Moyise.  These are two helpful resources, especially regarding the articulation of how the NT authors' use of the OT would fit into categories such as meaning and significance.

How I am planning on preaching meaning and significance is by way of the two temptations, the first in Genesis 3 and the second as recorded in Luke 4.  Where I am going is to see how meaning and significance as categories of good interpretation are at play while the serpent is tempting. 

If anyone has any other ideas, I would be glad to hear them!  As I spell out more of where I am going, I will post.  Also, I have almost finished reading the Curse of the Law article.  It was promising at its beginning, but took, in my estimation, a poor turn.  I hope to spell that out soon too.

Grace to you all!
